Fly a Jet in Russia

It has always been my dream to fly a jet. That’s not so difficult in Russia. An hour with a MIG-29 costs around $ 15,000. But you can even get it cheaper at an aeroclub close to Kaluga, which is about 4 hours by car from Moscow. They offer flights with the Albatross L-39 trainer. You can get that from 40 000 rub for a 20min flight. An hour’s flight costs about 1000 USD. I tried that and tested the G’s. It was fun, but maybe not for everyone …

If you want it even cheaper, you can book an hour simulator in Moscow. That is available from about 30 EUR.
